Each roll has 2 to 3 visible layers with a light beige dough spiraling inward with a thick layer of cinnamon-brown filling that looks sugary and slightly sticky. The tops of the rolls glisten with a sugary glaze and a dusting of fine cinnamon sugar, giving them a textured, sparkly surface. In the background, there are blurry cinnamon sticks and some scattered spices. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 cup almond flour
2 oz cream cheese, softened

1 large egg, beaten
2 tbsp cinnamon

2 tbsp erythritol or your favorite keto-friendly sweetener (adjust to taste)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Cooking oil spray, to taste (for frying)

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, softened cream cheese, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until a smooth dough forms without lumps.
Step 2: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a thin rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3: In a separate bowl, combine the cinnamon and erythritol to make the filling mixture.
Step 4: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sweetener mixture over the rolled-out dough.
Step 5: Carefully lift one edge of the parchment paper and roll the dough tightly into a log, using the parchment to help guide it.

Step 6: Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 1-inch pieces.
Step 7: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly spray it with cooking oil. Fry each roll-up for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8: Serve warm as is or with your favorite keto-friendly toppings.

Tips & Variations

For an extra creamy texture, chill the dough for 15 minutes before rolling out.
Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the cinnamon mixture for a spiced twist.
Swap erythritol for monk fruit sweetener if preferred.

Serve with a drizzle of sugar-free syrup or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.

Storage

Store any leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in a microwave for 20-30 seconds to regain crispiness and warmth.

FAQs

Can I use another type of flour instead of almond flour?

Almond flour is recommended for its low-carb content and texture, but coconut flour can be used as a substitute. Keep in mind that coconut flour absorbs more moisture, so you may need to adjust the amount and add more egg or cream cheese to achieve the right dough consistency.

Are these roll ups suitable for freezing?

Yes, you can freeze the cooked roll ups in an airtight container for up to one month. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then warm in a skillet or microwave until heated through.
